What we're building

One record where every effort counts

Grades alone no longer separate strong students. Jobs ask for proof of skills, not just paper. And the work happening outside school is the work that builds people.

Y2O holds all of it. Logged by the student, confirmed by the people who saw it, owned by the student for good.

The founders

Built by family. Shaped by students.

Three people, three voices, the same kitchen table.

V

Varya

The student voice
If grades don't show all the work, then where does the work go?

Asked the question that started Y2O. Keeps the product honest to what students will actually use.

V

Vinay

The business voice
If a student can prove what they did, the record becomes the leverage.

Twenty years building businesses and hiring early-career people, watching strong candidates lose ground because the paper trail didn't keep up.

P

Pankaj

The tech voice
The record has to be simple enough to use, and strong enough to trust.

Decades designing software that handles trust and verification. Makes sure the record is private by default.

Origin

The question that started Y2O

Varya was in high school doing what most students do. Saturday tutoring, a weekend job, the robotics build team, helping with the family business. Stretched thin, doing real work.

None of it was on her transcript or a résumé, and she had no way to show it on applications.

The honest answer to her question was nowhere. So we started building somewhere.

The question

If grades don't show all the work, then where does the work go?

Y2O is the record we wished she'd had in Grade 9.
What we believe

Five values every decision has to pass

If a choice doesn't pass these, it doesn't ship.

01

Student-owned

The record belongs to the student, after graduation too.

02

Verified by people

A real person who saw the work beats any algorithm.

03

Built with partners

Coaches, employers, and programs shape confirmation.

04

Built with students

If they wouldn't use it on the bus, we redesign it.

05

Built for what's next

The record has to work past Grade 12.
